Fisher & Paykel Healthcare staff are asked to wear CovidCards and face masks on site to minimise the chance of a disruption to production of its respiratory aids which are saving lives around the world. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has provided CovidCards to all its 4000 New Zealand staff so it can trace close contacts quickly if any of its staff are infected with Covid. In addition to supplying Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Virscient has been selling cards to customers through Wellington-based contact tracing specialist SaferMe. Chief executive Dean Armstrong said the cards Fisher & Paykel Healthcare was using were essentially the same as the ones it would have supplied the Ministry of Health. Supplied Fisher & Paykel Healthcare wanted a contact tracing aid “that was easy to use and that we could validate everyone had”.
